Abstract
Sarcoidosis is a chronic inflammatory disease of unknown etiology. Any part of the body may be involved, including eye and/or its adnexal tissues. Uveitis and optic neuropathy are the main manifestations. Patients need immuno-suppression to maintain remission. Patients associated with exclusive extra-ocular involvement (lacrimal glands in our case) need a high degree of suspicion and a multi-disciplinary approach for proper management.
